yo just use any oil that is meant for paintball. The wort thing you can do is use car oil and ruin your gun. Other than that all oils are about the same.

I use PMI oil, its good stuff i think, i like it. Really and oil will do fine. Except oil that is not made for paintball.

DO NOT USE ANYTHING other than oil made specifically for paintball. Otherwise, you could eat up your internal seals and o-rings, and do other bad things to your gun. Only use paintball gun oil. Just about any is fine. I use everything from KC's TroubleFree to PMI to AGP AutoLube. It's all about the same.

Gold Cup rocks!!!....get it....if not, try something made for PBall, that's an excellent choice if you can't get GC

APG Mag just had an article on this subject a few months ago. KC oil is the best. They have 2 types, one for CO2 and one for N2. This is the best paintball oil on the market.

I was oiling my o-rings awhile ago and decided to put some oil in the hole in the duckbill (where the co2 screws in) is this ok??? The guy at the proshop said it was ok. I put about 5 drops in and fired the gun about 20 times to cycle the oil. SHOULD I HAVE DONE THIS?

Don't worry blake_sw, this is something most paintballers do (or should do) as it allows oil to get to the o-rings and internals and protect them. The only other way to do this is to completely take apart your gun but thats a bit too much trouble so most people just put oil in the ASA before they go paintballing.

actually it doesn't matter if it is for paintball that just drives the price up
all you have to do is use synthetic oil!!!
petroleum distilates destroy th o-rings in your gun
